"Boy, what is your name?" demanded Mr. Checkynshaw, when the door had closed behind the cashier.
"Leopold Maggimore, sir," replied he.
"Leopold," repeated the banker.
"I am generally called Leo, sir."
"Did the barber—your father, if he is your father—send you to my office to-day?"
"Yes, sir; he sent me, and I came; but you were not in."
"Why didn't you wait for me?"
"I was told you would not be back again to-day, sir."
"What time were you here?"
"At half past two, sir. There was some trouble in the entry at the time. A gentleman had a young fellow by the collar, and was putting him out of the building."
